A unique experience!!! - We arrived in Cape Town by ship and were unable to enter the port due to strong winds. After several hours we contacted the provider and asked for a later start date, because we could not make the planned date. The answer came super fast and we were able to move the appointment by 4 hours absolutely without any problems. (Thank you very much again for this!!!) The hotel pick-up also worked great. The whole crew is super friendly and competent and looked after us very warmly before the start. Finally we were able to take off in the best weather and had a whole helicopter for us. The pilot was also very friendly and relaxed. On the sightseeing flight we could see everything wonderfully from all places and had a great time. After returning we were able to take pictures with helicopter and pilot and were then driven back again. All in all a unique experience!! Thank you very much!!!

Terrific - This was a fantastic experience. Well organised with a safe and experienced company. We did a 20 minutes flight over Cape Town and it was stunning. The pilot gave us commentary throughout. We could relax in safe hands and enjoy the flight.

Truly a Must Do - Truly a must do. The views of Cape Town from the helicopter are second to none. Plenty of time in the air even though it’s a 20 minute trip. The group was flexible with us and allowed us to come early the day of and take an earlier flight so we could make our lunch reservation. The check in process was seamless and the pilot was kind and provided some talking points of what we were seeing during the flight.

Proof Humans Can Fly When Wallets Are Light Enough - Amazing views of Cape Town from above!
If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a very nervous seagull, this is the tour for you. The whole ride was about 15–20 minutes — basically the length of one good panic attack — but wow was it gorgeous up there.
I would 100% do it again because bucket lists don’t cross themselves off. There are longer flights available, so if you want more time pretending you’re in a Mission Impossible movie (minus Tom Cruise and the stunts), definitely go for one of those.
10/10 views. 7/10 duration. Would recommend — especially if gravity has ever personally offended you. 😄✈️🌍
